Anyone have this happen?

So I'm Forrest, playing against Rampage and my opponent blows his wad trying to transition out of my sprawl.

I lock in the submission, I'm in the green in stamina, he literally has 0.

I start mashing the buttons, he powers out.

We continue fighting, he gets back down to 0 stamina and I'm in the yellow. I lock in another submission and this time am rotating the analog stick. This time he technical's out of my attempt, rolls on top of me, I push him to full guard and he locks in a kneebar (with about 10-20% stamina, and I'm in the red as well at this point), and submits me in about 3 seconds... literally just goes from the first portion to the second portion before I can really even fight it.

I had this happen twice in a row last night (well the 0 stamina vs. green bar kickout). First against a guy who was 29-3 and next against a guy who was somewhere around 45-10.

Is this like a glitch or something? How can people power out of submissions when I'm playing as Forrest (with like 90 submission offense), and they're at literally 0 stamina?

Has anyone seen this happen. If you are in career mode and you see Mike Delagrotti as a trainer. During the sparing sessions his glasses come off and start floating around the ring!! I'm serious. It's friggin' distracting.

if this happens in the leagues repeatedly by one person they're going to get kicked out, no modded controllers in the leagues

Is there such a thing as a modded controller?

I really have no idea, I didn't send a message to either of the guys after playing them as I figured it could have been lag (even though when we were playing I didn't notice any lag and the controls were pretty responsive for an online match).

It was just weird seeing as how I have subbed at least 25 people and I play with the stamina bar on (so I know he had 0 stam left). It's not like I was doing anything differently with the controls that I had done against anyone else when I subbed them out. I also got a couple of subs victories later in the night.

It was just very strange... I literally had a full bar (minus 2-3 hooks I had eaten) and he had literally 0 stamina when I started the submission and he powered out like it was nothing, I didn't even get to the second portion of the sub.

The ease with which I was subbed later in the fight was kind of suspect as well. We both had about the same amount of stamina (both low, and I wasn't shocked when I tapped), I was playing as Forrest and it basically goes from the first to second stage of the submission in less then 2 seconds, and I'm almost immediately tapping after that.

Nevermind. Answered it myself. http://www.keepgaming.com/ps3controllers.html Sucks that people use these. If its done in the league, you will be outed. Its not like you can't tell. Besides, we are junkies and I would hope we would have some honor among ourselves.

damn i ran into this a few times. i was wondering what it was. i don't understand the appeal of playing a game like this if you know you can submit anyone any time and never be submitted. i guess it's kind of like the appeal of being Fedor.

Didn't know they had those out for the PS3.
I can't access the links at work but I'll take your word that they are what they are.
I remember having the turbo op[tion on one of my wireless PS2 controllers. So I guess I should have known that the PS3 would have them. On the PS2 I never liked the turbo, it didn't seem to get whatever it was doing done as fast as I could by mashing.

I have had this happen a few times. i have over 40 submission wins and know how to time it quite well. But there have been a few times i had a guy at zero stamina with nearly full for myself and they get out like it was nothing. And usually in those same matches i get have been subbed so quick it didn't even have time to start button mashing. so there is definately some suspect players out there...which sucks cause you don't know ahead of time.

Yea, I logged on yesterday and my first two matches were the ones I posted about above, I thought THQ had made a patch or something. (not that it would have really made any sense either way).

Oh well, thanks for clearing that up. It was pretty easy to tell that something fishy was going on... the guy just kept spamming transitions over and over like he didn't care that I was going to go for a sub with Forrest.

i have been submitted by turbo users when my health was all the way full. the tap came with about half my stamina left. that's some gaay s**t.

Stamina doesn't have to be zero to get a sub. it just has to be lower than your opponent. if my stamina > your stamina and my offensive sub skill > your defensive sub skill, there's a good chance you're getting subbed, with perfect techinque on my side on the stick rotation

Don't be so quick to blame the modded controllers if they're playing someone with high sub skills. If they're playing someone without sub skills and with just high strength -- like subbing you with Lesnar, then maybe. My $0.02 only.

-P

dude i for sure had someone submit me with rampage, who has terrible sub offense. i was machida, who has good sub defense. and i NEVER power out of subs, i always stick rotate. and in that instance, my tap came withhalf my stamina left. i know you don't have to be gassed to get subbed, but i thought your bar had to go all the way down before you tap.
